And so we look back on week 2 with mixed views. The Reds won, and won well, which everyone seems pretty pleased about. The Brumbies, Force and Tahs all lost on the road which shouldn’t really be a surprise should it? Perhaps we expected more from the all-star Brumbies, but they were...

I haven’t seen the game yet, but here’s a write up. From what I heard Tahu looked pretty good at 12. AUSTRALIA A fought off a second-half rally by Asian champions Japan to post a 42-21 win with six tries in their opening game of the Pacific Nations Cup. The second-tier Australia...

Some good names here, and there would be more if it weren’t for the U20 RWC happening this month in Wales. There isn’t an obvious shape to the team though, and it’ll be very interesting to see that back line shape up though, especially without a recognised 10 from the S14 this...
